Dublin: Its Museums and Collections

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

AH 10070 Dublin: Its Museums and Collections at UCD; Dublin is home to a rich variety of museums, whose collections survey the entire history of Irish art but also include outstanding examples of European and non-Western art. The purpose of this module is to create an enhanced appreciation of art among students who are not majoring in art history by fostering a direct engagement with these works of art and architecture. Two one-hour meetings a week incorporating both slide lectures and at least some discussion will focus upon art in Dublin museums and the architecture of the museums themselves.
